Good grade 1+ book
I have this for my 8 year old daughter who is working towards her grade 1 exam. She finds the easiest pieces playable but difficult due to 3 finger cords and lots of hand postion changes. I would recommend this for grade one and above , at grade 1 you could play the simpler pieces which are well set and aproved my my daughters piano teacher.

Basically Good
I liked this book. I am an adult learner who always hoped to be able to accompany the family at Christmas as we sang carols around the piano! A Victorian Christmas dream if you like!
But since I am still at about grade II level, I found the great majority of carol music far too difficult to play at a reasonable pace.
This book does certainly make it easy and possible to play decent carols and this Christmas we all sang happily. Although I did practice for a few weeks before hand.
The one negative is that a few of the arrangements are the USA version of a carol - in particular Away in a Manger is not the familiar form and there is no UK version.
A couple of the pieces were more of a grade II level, a couple were more of a grade I. On balance someone learning for about a year would get a lot of use out of this.

My First Book of Christmas Songs (beginner Piano)
This was ideal for my two grand daughters who are just starting to learn the piano. Very easy to read.
